    I dunno...but for cool factor I have to give PREDATOR the nod. There is something about a 10 foot screen with all of those amps lined up underneath. Each Carver rated at 700 w each mono (X 7) equals a system with 4,900 total w. Now that is cool! The wall color is a drawback but the speakers more that make up for the color...and the final piece is the Maxell "blown away" poster in the back. One of my all-time favorite audio ads.

    Too many choices for me! I think there are quite a few members that have put together some excellant systems. I'm kinda like a 6 year old in a candy store, Just too many choices!

    tyrone jumps to an early lead.. another vote was pm'ed. My personal vote goes to tntvt, quality components all around in a fairly large room, and I love those rottweilers. Oh also, I could never vote for someone who doesn't have a FP setup!

    I think Micah should get a 'couch' vote too, think of what a black light would reveal...

    I will say, that behind the curtain is:

    a single chair, with naked pictures on the wall, glued together with saliva....and a crumpled sock on the floor

    a shrine to Rod Roddy, pitch man for the Price is Right

    a "woman" suit on a hanger....you may be right Ceruleance

    a hole in the wall for when he does cameos on gloryhole.com

    a toilet

    a hole in the ground, where he goes and screams at that top of his lungs...because "Matt" is stressing him out

    a batting cage with a pitching machine, that shoots out little doll heads, with "hussy" written on the foreheads

    a group of his Hobbit friends, talking about how inaccurate the LOTR's trilogy is

    a blow up doll painted, and made up like Velma from Scooby Doo...with a 360 degree rotating head, so he can look at her eyes in any position

    or maybe its nothing.

    You guys better watch what you say. Oh, you're talking about Micah?? Carry on... How did he get such a bad rap anyway? OK, so maybe the Skulls, the socks, general demeaner, his office, etc...

    Hey thanks alot Doro, not sure how my system made it in this thread but thanks anyways. Should be doing some more upgrades here in the near future, furniture wise, so hope to get some new pics up by the first part of the new year. Honestly, best surrounds, how did you come to that conclusion.

    Grimster - I just really like how you ran the cable, it showed alot of effort and time. The overall finished project is fantastic, good job man. :D

    Chris Durano's are also nicely done, wire to a minimum and the color blends perfect with the wall...classic stealth surround.
